Special Partnerships

Partnering with other organizations helps us bring even more magic to the festival. We’re so grateful that these stellar organizations participate in sharing with you the heritage and culture of our region in is many forms.

“Think of a festival as a ritual, a time when things shift their normal order–people transgress their comfort zones by eating different foods, dancing on the streets, talking to strangers, seeing what is familiar in a new light. In this way, we are able to imagine what a more democratic, equitable, and just world might look like.”
– Dr. Maribel Alvarez, Festival Curator
